Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1000 - 690: She Definitely Can’t Fall in Love with the Hypocrite Lu Chen

Cultivators first consider whether making a certain decision will destabilize their Dao Heart or breed any inner demons.

Su Hanyan was certain that even if she became intimate with Lu Chen, it wouldn’t spawn any inner demons; Lu Chen’s handsome appearance would rank highly even in the upper reaches of the Cultivation World.

Besides his appearance, Su Hanyan also pondered another aspect; with Lu Chen’s identity, he surely had a plethora of cultivation resources. If she could obtain more cultivation resources through Lu Chen and swiftly enhance her power, she would later have a chance to escape from his side.

Lu Chen sought her for one of two reasons; one was to have her serve as a Furnace Cauldron, and the other, to make her fall in love with him so that in the future she might die for him and become a sacrificial offering to shield him from tribulation.

Since Lu Chen intended to nurture a willing sacrificial offering, he would certainly treat her well, attempting to make her fall in love with him. This way, she could leverage this opportunity to acquire more cultivation resources from Lu Chen and become stronger.

Cultivators who needed to transcend tribulations generally required a late stage in their cultivation state. Although Lu Chen was powerful, the oppressive aura he exuded suggested that his cultivation state was at most that of the Genesis Realm.

With Lu Chen’s cultivation state in the Genesis Realm, reaching a realm needing to transcend tribulations would be impossible without at least tens of millions of years.

The scenario Su Hanyan could envision that would require her willing sacrifice would only be necessary at the moment Lu Chen became an emperor. Before Lu Chen’s ascension, she would have plenty of time to plan her escape from this man.

As for whether she would end up falling in love with Lu Chen, she deemed that completely impossible.

In her view, Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou fell for Lu Chen because they didn’t initially realize he had ulterior motives; they merely thought Lu Chen was a lecher who coveted their beauty.

By the time those two realized that Lu Chen might want them to willingly face tribulation for him, they had already fallen in love with Lu Chen and couldn’t extricate themselves. Thus, even upon learning the truth, both would unequivocally remain with Lu Chen.

But she was different. From the outset, she knew Lu Chen was not a mere lecher, desiring her body only to cultivate someone to face tribulation. This was all about interests, so she absolutely couldn’t fall for this pretender, Lu Chen.

Having thought through all of this, Su Hanyan decided to meet with Lu Chen after the convening of the Tianchen World’s Cultivator Conference and agree to a transaction with him.

Meanwhile,

In a cosmic space, an Immortal Boat was silently navigating among the various fractured world barriers.

At that moment, a man approached the deck of the Immortal Boat, then lifted his finger and began to write something in the air; the next moment, those golden characters turned into a clump and flew towards the rear of the Immortal Boat.

Afterward, the man said to the person piloting the Immortal Boat, "Increase the speed!"

"Yes, Elder Song."

Some time later,

Within a certain cosmic space, a boat with Yin Fire flames quietly progressed. Stay tuned for updates on novelbuddy

Its hull resembled an ancient stone tablet eroded by the years, its surface covered with mottled symbols and mysterious patterns, emanating a faint cold light. A thick black mist enveloped the boat like the cloak of the Grim Reaper, shrouding the Immortal Boat in a chilling and terrifying atmosphere.

The prow of the boat was carved with a ferocious beast’s head, its eyes flickering a ghostly green, as if it could devour the soul of every living being.

As the Immortal Boat navigated through the stars, the beast’s eyes seemed to come alive, unleashing a chilling pressure that made the surrounding stars tremble.

The interior of the Immortal Boat was even more horrific, with dim lighting casting shadows on walls and floors covered with blood-red runes. These runes seemed alive, pulsating within the cabin and emitting a low, eerie sound.

The air within the cabin was thick with a suffocating stench of blood, as if countless beings had been brutally slaughtered here.

At that moment, a burst of golden light flew from the expanse of space ahead, landing on the deck of the Immortal Boat, where it was seized by a gaunt elder who was all skin and bones.

After reading the message sent from ahead, Sima Haoyan said with a smile, "It seems the vigilance of the Mysterious Moon Palace Master is quite strong. Fortunately, the Mysterious Moon Palace has our people in it."

At this time, a man clad in blue garments asked, "Elder Sima, what’s the situation?"

Sima Haoyan replied, "According to the intelligence sent back by our scouts, the Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace intentionally led us in this direction. They have now changed course, and I estimate the true location of the Tianchen World is in the northwest direction of this star map."

As his voice faded, Sima Haoyan immediately used Divine Sense to communicate, sending the situation here through a strand of Divine Sense back to Lu Yanghua, who was still in the Qianyuan World.

After Sima Haoyan had sent the message back to the Qianyuan World, the man in blue spoke again, "I heard the Tianchen World might contain some treasures, though I don’t know if that’s true or false."

Sima Haoyan said, "True or false, we’ll find out once we get there. King Jin would certainly not deceive us."

Lan Huai said, "To tell you the truth, I still have some doubts about King Jin’s words. The Yin Fire Sect belongs to the Demon Sect, how could he possibly trust us so much and even hint that there are treasures in the Tianchen World?"

"If there really are treasures in the Tianchen World that can move even an Imperial Son like him, he would have gone to the Tianchen World first, instead of seeking us out from the Yin Fire Sect."

Sima Haoyan said with a sneer, "You don’t understand. The Tianchen World is the training ground of a certain Imperial Son. As an Imperial Son himself, how could King Jin dare to go to the Tianchen World?"

"If he appeared in the Tianchen World and disrupted the training of that Imperial Son, the latter might hold him accountable."

Initially, Lu Yanghua had considered going directly to the Tianchen World, interested in its treasures. However, in the end, he chose not to go directly and assigned the task to the Yin Fire Sect.

Although Emperor Shenwu had already given up on Lu Chen, Lu Yanghua dared not commit the taboo of brothers directly harming each other.

The Yin Fire Sect was the largest Demon Cultivator sect within the Shenyue Dynasty. The Shenyue Empire had sent troops to eradicate the members of the Yin Fire Sect multiple times, but they were never able to completely destroy it.

The Yin Fire Sect was like a small flame that kept burning. Even if the Sect Hierarch was extinguished, they would soon reignite and grow stronger than before.

Letting the Yin Fire Sect kill Lu Chen would allow all the blame to be placed on them.

At this time, Lan Huai asked, "If King Jin has us solve the matter with the Tianchen World’s Imperial Son, wouldn’t he be in trouble if that person finds out?"

Sima Haoyan said indifferently, "As long as there’s no direct confrontation between the Imperial Sons, that person will not intervene. Perhaps, in his eyes, our taking action may also be seen as part of that Imperial Son’s training in the Tianchen World."

"You know what kind of person he is."

Hearing Sima Haoyan say this, Lan Huai felt there was some logic to it. Given Emperor Shenwu’s temperament, even if an Imperial Son died, he would only think that the son was not strong enough, a waste, and his death would be inconsequential.

Then, Sima Haoyan lifted his hand, which looked like the bark of a withered tree, and infused Spiritual Power into the control Formation of the Immortal Boat, personally steering the ship toward the astral coordinates sent by Song Yuan.

While controlling the Immortal Boat, Sima Haoyan laughed in a sinister tone, "I can hardly wait to taste what the blood of an Imperial Son is like."
